Honestly I didn't know a lot about Pedro Martinez until he joined the Red Sox in 1998. I knew he had won a Cy Young Award in the National League and he had an older brother who was a decent pitcher for the Dodgers but that was about it. I was bummed after Clemens left Beantown for Toronto but Pedro was brought in to fill the void, and did he ever. An 8-time All-star who added his second and third Cy Young Awards with Boston, Pedro led his league in ERA four times, strikeouts three times and victories once on his way to the Hall of Fame. He is currently in 5th place all-time in career Winning percentage. As of this posting I have 1432 different Beckett recognized cards of Pedro in my collection of which here are nine of them including an auto and a bunch of relics.

2001 Donruss Classics #18 Pedro Martinez Autographed (Pedro came to Maine to talk baseball a couple of years ago and his appearance was sponsored by a rival radio station. I am friends with the program manager and asked him if he would be willing to get Pedro to sign a card for me. He said sure so I gave him this Donruss Classics card. He told me he caught Pedro going into the bathroom and gave him the card. Pedro went in and when he came back out he gave him this signed card.)
